A Night Unlike Any Other

Once, I had so much on my mind
That all I ever replied was “yes” or “no”
A new smile, a new face
Ever ready for every stupid gesture
Once, I had so much on my mind
I ran away and cried
I took everything to heart
But all that doesn’t matter today

Now I tell my heart, be true to yourself
This night is unlike any other
I lay here quiet, quiet by your side
The hours trickle by

Now I know it will rain
The trees will be verdant once more
Even though a voice silently cries inside me,
Giving me no peace
And don’t ask me how to live
Or whether I’ll be teasing you for long
The grass is still green
Mine is a crazy love

Now I tell my heart, be true to yourself
This night is unlike any other
I lay here quiet, quiet by your side
The hours trickle by
